Chapter 14: Light of the Sky



This is a copper lotus with a lotus leaf as the base. The diameter is about ten centimeters. The flower bud is directly supported on the lotus leaf. The flower has not opened, but the gaps between the petals can be felt.

It turns out to be such a big piece of copper, no wonder it is so heavy!

Although Li Banfeng didn't know much about antiques, he could tell that this was a very exquisite ornament.

But is this ornament so important?

What does He Jiaqing mean by insisting that I take it back home?

Captain Xiao is going to kill me just for this thing?

What secrets are hidden in this lotus?

Li Banfeng stuck his fingernails into the crevices of the lotus, trying to pry open the petals.

After trying twice, my nails almost broke, but the lotus petals didn't move at all.

Li Banfeng had slept too much these days and had nothing else to do anyway, so he kept studying the bronze lotus.

I studied it from dawn till two in the afternoon, but the copper lotus still didn't open.

Squeak~

The announcer announced: "The train is about to arrive at Yaowanggou Station. Passengers arriving at the station are requested to pack their luggage and be ready to get off the train."

We have arrived!

We have arrived at Yaowanggou!

Li Banfeng quickly picked up silk, yellow paper and other things, wrapped the copper lotus, put it into his backpack, packed the remaining three boxes of instant noodles, a box of potato chips, and a bag and a half of spicy strips, then pushed the door and walked out of the carriage.

This was the first time that Li Banfeng had walked out of his own compartment since he got on the train, and it was also the first time he had seen passengers on the same train.

At first, Li Banfeng was a little nervous, fearing that he would encounter an unknown creature with three heads.

There were quite a few people standing in front of the door waiting to get off the bus, but they were all normal, or at least looked normal.

Some people shouldn't get off at this stop, but they have to get off early because they are starving to death.

A man in a suit, with his left hand in his pocket and a suitcase in his right hand, stood next to Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng took a look at him. The man was at least 1.9 meters tall and weighed no more than 100 kilograms.

With such a skinny figure, it’s easy for you to be blown away by the wind when you go out.

Behind him was a woman whose build was the opposite of the man's. She was estimated to be less than 1.4 meters tall and weighed more than 140 pounds.

The train shuddered, and the man quickly held onto the woman beside him. Judging from the distance and body movements, they were a couple.

The woman was holding a child in her arms, who looked to be one or two years old, but it was hard to tell who the child looked like.

laugh!

Woohoo!

With a long whistle, the train arrived at Yaowanggou Station.

The conductor lowered the ladder and Li Banfeng followed everyone off the train.

The moment he stepped out of the carriage, Li Banfeng was a little intoxicated by the fresh air. Even though it was mixed with a little smell of coal dust and engine oil, it was much better than the air on the train.

The weather was a bit gloomy, but it was better than the dim lights in the carriage, not to mention that even the dim lights would be gone in the next few days.

After getting off the bus, Li Banfeng noticed the clothes of the people around him.

Their clothing is very different from Li Banfeng's.

There are many people wearing suits, black, white, striped, checked, all kinds of styles.

Many people were wearing Zhongshan suits, with the collars of some standing up and some turned inside out.

Some wore a vest over their shirts, with a bow tie around the collar.

Some people were wearing long gowns, which were somewhat similar to the robes worn by folk artists.

Many people were wearing hats of different styles, mostly top hats, but there were also quite a few peaked caps.

There are also a number of hats that are similar to the peaked cap, but with a slightly narrower brim and a button on it.

What kind of hat is this?

It seems to be called forward cap.

Li Banfeng thought: They are all wearing hats, should I take out my mountaineering hat as well?

The key point is that the style of my hiking hat is quite different from theirs.

And it's not just about the hat.

After Li Banfeng got on the train, he took off his shirt and trousers and changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants. Now it seems that his outfit is out of tune with the people around him.

Or we can change into shirts and trousers now. After all, we are people who can change clothes on the subway, and changing clothes on the platform is no problem.

Forget it, I won't change it. Why do I have to wear the same clothes as them? Isn't it nice to have my own style?

Li Banfeng felt that he was the most eye-catching man on the entire platform.

It was really bright, and he even had some kind of illusion that there was light on his body.

"Mom, there is light on that person!" A child stared at Li Banfeng from behind.

You see, even children say that I have light, which proves that...

This proves that it is not an illusion!

Li Banfeng stretched out his right hand. Under the dim sky, his right arm was emitting a pale and dazzling halo.

Not just his right arm, his entire body was glowing.

But after observing carefully for a while, Li Banfeng found that it was not himself who was glowing, but there was a beam of light shining on him, just like a spotlight on the stage.

Where does this light come from?

Li Banfeng raised his head and looked towards the sky. The light projected from the sky was so bright that Li Banfeng could not open his eyes.

Is this a helicopter searchlight?

Is there a helicopter following me?

The light shining on his body suddenly went out. Li Banfeng was shocked and rushed to the ticket gate quickly.

There were originally many people standing at the ticket gate, and they were all looking back at Li Banfeng just now.

Li Banfeng was in a hurry to leave the station, but he didn't expect these people to take the initiative to make way for him.

"Hide, hide! He has illuminated the sky."

"Isn't it a white lamb?"

"Stay away from him, and don't get yourself covered in blood!"

What does this mean?

Do they also know there is a helicopter up there?

Li Banfeng became even more nervous and took out his ticket and immediately handed it to the ticket inspector.

The ticket inspector took out a pair of pliers, cut another notch on the ticket, and returned the ticket stub to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng didn't bother with his ticket stub and walked straight out of the station. He saw many people coming to greet him at the station entrance.

They wore waistcoats but no shirts, and nothing else under the waistcoats.

They were also wearing hats, I couldn’t tell what material they were made of, but the style was very similar to Li Banfeng’s mountaineering hat.

Is this their uniform?

Are they going to catch me wearing this?

A man came up and took the initiative to talk: "Sir, do you need a car?"

Li Banfeng prepared spicy noodles and answered with great vigilance: "Where is the car going?"

"Anywhere is fine, just tell me where!"

It turned out to be a taxi driver.

Li Banfeng was in a hurry to get on the road, so he said to the driver, "I'm going to Yaowanggou."

The driver smiled and said, "Sir, this is Yaowanggou. This area is called Yaowanggou. Which part of Yaowanggou do you want to go to? Inner or Outer Gou?"

Is it the inner ditch or the outer ditch?

Li Banfeng remembered the message sent by He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing once sent the address to Li Banfeng, and this sentence somewhat brought back some memories for Li Banfeng.

"Ligou, a place called Pai Something Street."

"Paifang Street, right?" the driver smiled. "Sure, give me eight dollars!"

"Eight dollars, sure!"

The driver smiled even more happily. This customer was quite straightforward and didn't bargain.

Li Banfeng really didn't want to bargain. Eight yuan wasn't expensive! It was just the starting price for a taxi.

The driver took Li Banfeng down the square in front of the station and came to his car.

Li Banfeng looked at the car.

This cart has two wheels, a seat, two shafts, and a crossbeam connecting them in the middle.

"Is this car fast?"

"Hurry!" The driver threw his handkerchief over his shoulder and pointed at the rickshaw, saying, "Ask around the rickshaws in front of the station and see which one is faster than mine."

The driver is a rickshaw puller.

There are still people pulling rickshaws in this era!

But I have ridden a steam locomotive and seen a man with three heads, so riding in a rickshaw is not something strange at all.

It’s just that Li Banfeng thinks it’s too slow.

"Is there anything faster?"

"You want to take a carriage?" The driver waved his hand. "We don't allow carriages to stop in front of the station. They are dirty. Unless someone comes to unload the goods, it's not appropriate for you to take one."

Li Banfeng meant to ask if he could find a motor vehicle. Just as he was about to speak, he found that his jaw was not working properly and he couldn't open his mouth.

Not only did his mouth stop working, his hands and feet also couldn't move, and his body seemed to be frozen in a truckload of cement.

Seeing Li Banfeng standing there stiffly, the driver asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Sir, sir... you are not blinded by sunlight!"

ps: At five o'clock in the evening, there is
